[Pre-Chorus]

Gotta keep it pushing in spite of how it's looking

Gotta keep it spinning though I'm at my limit


[Chorus]

When it's said and done my run will be accomplished

And I'm down to go the extra mile regardless

Empty out my tank and that is not a problem

Just know for the day that when I stop, I'm all done

And for when you see me just know it ain't easy

I was living so freely but the world it needs me

Go to work on these dreams, go to sleep then repeat


[Verse 1]

I say God take the wheel I'ma let him spin

I'm riding shotty with excellence

Still I favor luxury cars yes I am

Self-driven with or without Teslas man

And I jot so often it's repetitive

Quite as much as my heart bеats

It was in those times when my bank account look likе a GPA

That's when I needed faith and God got me

I'm telling my peoples it's not me

I know the intervention something godly

When my life got 'em questioning

How I do what I do it's a blessing man

Making sense where I am, peep the scenery

I got the drive in the DMV

'Til they only box me in on a TV screen

I ain't quitting till a marquee read Rasheed

And to my moms, I empty it out in these songs I make the common way

I'ma just plot the moves man, 'til I make it on top, the views man

Don't be alarmed, it's years in the making involved, seen it all

'Cause like Jesus I'm tryna be God's gift to the world

My umbilical cord was like a ribbon of course, so


[Chorus]

When it's said and done my run will be accomplished

And I'm down to go the extra mile regardless

Empty out my tank and that is not a problem

Just know for the day that when I stop, I'm all done

And for when you see me just know it ain't easy

I was living so freely but the world it needs me

Go to work on these dreams, go to sleep then repeat


[Verse 2]

If you think it's far fetched you couldn't convince me

But to quit prematurely man I know it's tempting

If I don't drop a gem, guess I'm penny pinching

When it's all said and done I wanna die empty

I got too much in the vault, my fault

I sat on it so long as I let time pass

I take a break from these tracks when I spaz

Relax like I'm Thanos after I snap

So believe me, I can't take it easy

As long as I'm breathing there's songs that's needed

Made my mark in ink or lead

So either way it's read I'm known to keep this pen sealed till I need it

On this path of mine, couple traffic lights, still I have to ride

I take after my whip that's gas deprived

'Cause I gaslight myself when I lack the drive

(Think about it)

But my main concern though

Was how to pull it all together with my little reserve though

Back when I kept a journal of inferno

With no way to lay a verse on every word wrote

And my dreams keep me up late at night

Afraid that my greatness would be internal

And if you checking for Marqui

I'm on a Hot 100 so let's see if they chart me


[Chorus]

When it's said and done my run will be accomplished

And I'm down to go the extra mile regardless

Empty out my tank and that is not a problem

Just know for the day that when I stop, I'm all done

And for when you see me just know it ain't easy

I was living so freely but the world it needs me

Go to work on these dreams, go to sleep then repeat
